Globe Asiatique Court Case

The Pasig City prosecutor’s office (CPO) dismissed on Monday the petition filed by Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee seeking to allow him to travel to Singapore on Dec. 23-27, 2010.

Pasig CPO chief Jack Ang said his office did not grant Lee’s motion for the lifting of the watchlist imposed on him after he and other officials of private developer Globe Asiatique were charged with syndicated estafa before the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Also charged with them was Atty. Alex Alvarez of the Pag-IBIG Fund’s legal department following his admission that he conspired with the private developer by way of notarizing fake loans in the Xevera project of Globe Asiatique in Mabalacat, Pampanga in exchange for a P30,000 monthly salary from the firm.

In the complaint filed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Pag-IBIG Fund before the DOJ, Globe Asiatique is accused of duping the government’s housing agency of some P6.6 billion because of the said anomalous transactions.
